Background / History
Yun Xi is the biological daughter of the Great Emperor of Cloud Sea. Her father created the Cloud Sea Heaven-Observing Technique, which she cultivated herself. 86 226
As Holy Lord of the Cloud Sea Sacred Land, Yun Xi encountered Chen Xuan after learning that he had cultivated the Heaven-Observing Divine Eye while still possessing a Mortal Body. Impressed by his aptitude and Daoist proficiency, she accepted him as her third personal disciple. 87
She gave Chen Xuan his personal-disciple token, the Nine Firmaments Cloud Sea Scripture, Cloud Sea Heaven-Observing Technique, Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art, and five supreme Daoist arts. While she provided techniques and guidance, she required him to acquire his own ordinary cultivation resources. 87 88
Yun Xi later supported Chen Xuan's search for the inheritance of Great Emperor Ziwei, providing information on Ziwei Star and rewarding his successful return with Purple Qi Source Crystals. She advised him to safeguard the complete Great Emperor legacy rather than pass it on casually. 115 126
